We are helping build a health care system that can truly meet patients’ needs. That means expanding education and training opportunities so abortion care is not determined by someone’s zip code or income, but is recognized as an essential part of comprehensive health care. ✨

Many patients must travel long distances, navigate mandatory waiting periods, manage financial strain, arrange childcare, and miss work simply because there are not enough physicians to provide abortion care. These barriers can lead to dangerous delays and increased health risks.

🩺 Access to the full spectrum of reproductive health care depends on having trained providers available and legal protections in the communities they serve.

New on the blog 🩺 MSFC Board Member, Claire Surkis, reflects on Match Week and how abortion restrictions are shaping residency decisions. msfc.org/relief-then-un…

To every fourth-year medical student waiting to see where they’ll train next, we’re cheering you on! Whether you've matched or are figuring out the next step, your path in medicine is just beginning. The future of reproductive health care depends on doctors like you. ✨ #MatchDay

🩺 #MatchWeek is when fourth-year medical students find out if they’ve matched into a residency program. Today, they learn if they matched, and by Friday, they know where they’ll train. 💉 No matter what this week brings, they deserve encouragement and support. 🤍

This #WomensHistoryMonth, we celebrate the women who have fought to protect reproductive health care, education, and freedom. Here’s to all women in medicine, past, present, and future, who continue to change the field and the future of care. 💜

We are forever thankful to the physicians, nurses, midwives, doulas, clinic escorts, volunteers, donors, and countless others who make abortion care accessible. 💜 Our communities depend on abortion access, and we must all #CelebrateAbortionProviders!

This #InternationalWomensDay, we’re uplifting the medical students who are actively shaping the future of medicine. Women in medical school are expanding access to reproductive health services and supporting their peers along the way. 💜

Young people deserve answers to their questions about sex and relationships without fear, shame, or stigma. Sex education supports informed decision-making and teaches how to set and respect boundaries. #reproductivehealth #sexualhealth #education #health

When we talk openly about periods, advocate for access to menstrual products, and challenge harmful myths, we create a culture where menstruation is treated with care instead of shame. 🩸✨ 🎨: kaikathleenn #periodpositive #menstruation #menstrualcycle

MSFC alum Dr. April Lockley has seen a clear shift in what callers are most concerned about since the 2022 Supreme Court decision. Before, many were anxious about how much pain they might experience. Now, their biggest fear is criminalization. huffpost.com/entry/abortion…

💙 If you’re a medical student looking for family planning education and abortion care training, we’re here to support you: msfc.org/medical-studen…

MSFC has worked to destigmatize abortion provision among medical students and to push medical schools and residency programs to treat abortion as a core part of comprehensive reproductive health care.

Future physicians are better prepared to serve their communities when abortion care education is treated as essential. 🩺

Birth control SAVES lives. It should never be up for debate. Most people will rely on contraception at some point in their lives. It supports chronic condition management, pregnancy prevention, and the ability to plan a future on one’s own terms. ✨🗓️

MSFC chapters in various medical schools have responded to legislation that affects patient care and helped shift the culture of the medical community around abortion care. #medstudent #abortionprovider #futuredoctor
